And so I have a big sharp and useful billhook, but when not in use that thing worries me, as the blade is unguarded, so, it neads a scabbard, sheath or something, and I want it in leather, as when I do it, I like working leather and this baby is getting boiled leather. But my knowledge of leathers to source for jobs is not good, I usually just make things out of what I find around, but now need to source the correct leather for this billhook, so I ask here,
What leather would be recommended to find to make a leather scabbard for a billhook with a blade ten and a half inch long, by five inch at the widest point, (the hook), and quarter inch thick. The plan being to incorporate a cigar type sharpening stone too, but the blade covering is the most important. Yeah, the scabbard will be decorated, as with me, it always is.
